FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
“We are responsible for the security of the Falkland Islands and we will
defend that robustly,” he said.
“Nothing has changed in our defence posture in recent months or recent years.
“The only thing that appears to have changed is the politics in Argentina.”
The two fiery press conferences came despite a plea from Ban Ki-moon, the UN
Secretary General, to both countries to avoid an “escalation
of the country”.
Mr Timerman criticised David Cameron for recently accusing Argentina of acting
like “colonialists,” saying: “It is perhaps the last refuge of a declining
power.
“It is the last ocean that is controlled by the United Kingdom – Britannia
rules only the South Atlantic.
“Argentina can not lose a terrortory because there is a group .. that chooses
to live a different fate. This population came after the invasion. This is
not an indiginous population.
“The UK is using the unjust defence of self-detemination for 2,500 inhabitants
as an excuse to become a military base.
Quoting John Lennon, who he described as the great musician, poet singer, he
urged the British Government to “give peace a chance.”
Mr Timerman displayed a map showing UK bases across the South Atlantic between
South America and Africa, pointing out that the “Empire’s capital” was 4,000
miles away.
He went on to show a series of photographs of what he claimed were
state-of-the-art war ships, planes and a nuclear submarine he said was
called the Vanguard, along with aerial shots of military bases and two
runways in the Falkland Islands. The foreign minister also claimed that the
British defence budget had been cut in every area except the South Atlantic.
Britain insists that current military operations in the Falklands, including
the inclusion of Prince William as part of an RAF search and rescue mission
and the deployment of a Royal Navy destroyer to the region, are “entirely
routine”.
Argentina has made much of Prince William’s presence on the islands, with one
government official comparing him to a “conquistador”.
Tensions over the Falklands – which Argentina refer to as Las Malvinas – have
been further fuelled by the discovery of possible oil fields in its
territorial waters.
And the debate became increasingly heated in recent days after Mrs Kirchner
gave a speech in which she claimed that UK “militarism … implies a grave
risk for international security…”
Mr Lyall Grant “It is not for Argentina and the UK to discuss the sovereignty
of the Falkland Islands over the heads of the people who live there, some of
whom have been there for over 200 years.”
He added that nuclear submarines belonging to several nations patrolled
international waters but, given the security issues involved, neither he nor
the Argentinians would be aware of where they were at any one time.
Before meeting Mr Timerman, the UN secretary-general’s office issued a
statement in which he “expressed the hope that the governments of Argentina
and the United Kingdom will avoid an escalation of this dispute and resolve
differences peacefully and through dialogue”.
